Miso Butter Roasted Vegetables

Miso Butter Roasted Vegetables

Elevate your roasted vegetables with the umami-rich flavor of miso butter. This simple recipe transforms ordinary vegetables into a flavorful and satisfying side dish.

The Magic of Miso Butter

Miso butter is a versatile condiment that adds a depth of savory flavor to a variety of dishes. Miso, a fermented soybean paste, is a staple in Japanese cuisine, and its umami-richness pairs beautifully with the richness of butter.

A Fusion of Flavors

This recipe combines the traditional Japanese ingredient of miso with the classic technique of roasting vegetables. The result is a dish that is both familiar and exciting, offering a unique and delicious way to enjoy your favorite vegetables.

Roasting Technique

Roasting vegetables at high heat caramelizes their natural sugars, enhancing their sweetness and creating a slightly crispy exterior. The miso butter further enhances this process, adding a savory-sweet glaze that is simply irresistible.
